The Button

So, I had a couple comments on how people can get their own button for their blog, so I decided to share my infinite knowledge… And by infinite, I mean some other person’s knowledge I used haha. Caleb made me the picture for the web, and first I saved it onto my photobucket account. They [...]

Women, Prepare Yourselves!

One thing that still surprises me after all that I have learned about birth, is the people that prepare for a natural childbirth and don’t want meds no matter what, but “when I felt that first contraction, I asked for the epidural because it was sooo hard.” If that first contraction has you so far [...]

Day #7: Spiritual Midwifery

This was Ina May’s first book, and definitely written back in the beginning of her midwifery days. The first half of the book is birth stories just like her other one. They are definitely older, and most of them sound very hippy. The best thing about this book is it is written for midwives, mothers, [...]

Birth #34

Breech rocks!!

Day #6: Active Birth

This book is very technically oriented. There aren’t stories, and it is pretty much just facts strung after more facts. So, if you are looking for a book that has facts on birth and not stories or anything, this is definitely a book for you. It is basically a book on how to give yourself [...]

Day #5: Hypnobirthing

I had heard a few things about this system, and I was curious what it was about. When I heard hypno, I was worried it was going to be one of those crazy hypnosis things. She explains her births in the very beginning. What they made women do in the 50′s and 60′s in hospitals [...]

Day #4: The Mother of All Pregnancy Books

When I go to Barnes and Noble, I have pretty much bought out their good birth books. The last time I went, I saw this one and snatched it up. It goes from before you are pregnant until postpartum, which I think is really great. It was very broad and didn’t have many specifics like [...]

Day #3: Husband Coached Childbirth

One of my best friends and her husband took this class while pregnant. (I admit, I was kinda weirded out that someone took a class that wasn’t done at the hospital, but that’s another story.) She said it was okay, but she knew most of it laready, but her husband said it was fantastic! He [...]

Day #2: The Birth Partner

This was also one of the first books I read, and I was sooo impressed. I was still learning about the basics of birth, so every page was amazing. The best part of this book is it is written for the partner, not the laboring woman. Whether that be a sister, a doula, or a [...]
